synopsis
With the guards on the prison transport ship turning into mindless vegetables thanks to the computerized power of a derelict space vessel, prisoner Roj Blake (Gareth Thomas) engineers an escape with a number of fellow convicts, among them embezzler Kerr Avon (Paul Darrow) and murderer Gan (David Jackson). Managing to evade evil transport officer Raiker (Leslie Schofield), Blake and four of his comrades take control of the vessel, which they have renamed the Liberator. But will the fugitives be able to fully escape the mind-controlling machinery of the Federation? "Space Fall" originally aired on January 9, 1978.
